Today we remember Ashling Murphy and the 15 women who have been killed on this island since her death.
#ViolenceAgainstWomen is an epidemic. NWC will continue to campaign for an end to all its forms in memory of these women, and all who were killed before them 🖤
"Under those laws, a woman will have to bear her rapist’s child or a young girl her father’s—no matter if doing so will destroy her life... After today, young women will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had."

I lost a gold ring with a black square stone at @DublinAirport in terminal1 flying to Marseille this morning. It was my deceased dad’s, so it has strong sentimental value. If you can retweet this I would really appreciate it, on the off chance someone has found it and sees this.
The first thing my mum taught me when I learnt to drive was to always lock my doors no matter what. It’s sad that’s what we have to do. It’s been reported to@the Gardai who are absolutely fantastic and so understanding. They’re a credit to our country.
@markohalloran This needs to be dealt with from the root, and that means having awkward conversations with friends who behave badly and a commitment to speaking respectfully about women even when their not there. It doesn’t seem huge but I really think it would be a game changer.
@markohalloran I think men need to realise that there is a connection between ‘minor’ acts of misogyny (comments, ‘jokes’, ‘lads bants’) and acts of violence. The minor acts contribute to a culture which dehumanises women and leads to us being seen as objects for the taking.
This is the thing. You may not be someone who will ever be violent but if you behave in a misogynistic way, even in a way you think is harmless, you contribute to a culture which empowers those who will.

The @IreWomenHockey are going to the World Cup! True to form, it went right to the wire once as Ireland finish with 10 players but no Welsh chance occurs and Ireland hold on for a 2-1 win!

Derogatory joke about women? Call it out.
